The organicist view
sees globalisation as a self organising process not designed by any
one or even many corporations or governments but as an incessant
seeking for profits in a gale of creative destruction. It is
refashioning what was an Inter-state [International] Order into a
Global Process whose end is not predictable. Yet if the organicist
view blames no single agency for the functioning of capitalism, it
neither offers hope of a better world in the near future. In Marx's
vision, there is incessant class struggle as capitalism reproduces
itself. There is a distant end to capitalism and a self conscious,
self organising society emerges at the end. But here again there is
no promises, at least in Marx's own writings, of any immediate
redress.
